First Post of 2015!

Lola is always down for a paid-photo shoot: Paid in Milk Bones that is ;)

Matt and I rang in the New Year doing what we do best:

A New Year means a new Runner's World Calendar. :D

And a new training log! :D

Would you believe this one is from the 2010 Miami Marathon race kit?! I am JUST using it NOW! :0

My first run of the new year was an introduction into speed work. Apparently, I have a lot of work to do, lol.

I headed out on the trail for a warm up of 2.5 miles and then did 1min hard/1min easy followed by a cool down for a total of 7 miles. Twice, I felt vomit coming.

Matt and I recovered the right way at the Esquire. :D

Happy New Year to me!

In case you haven't heard, Netflix is now playing a show you may have heard of before. ;)

Say "Goodbye" to any sort of productivity on my part. LOL

Friday was a REST day for me, but I spent the day running around getting everything I needed to renew my passport. It literally expired a few days ago. After the marathon waiting session at the passport office, I had a couple of friends over....obviously there were treats.

My Saturday run was FREEZING! A -21 Celsius windchill doesn't make it that appealing to go out and run. :S I bundled up so much I felt like a parade float....slight exaggeration. ;)

Smart wool socks for the win on this frigid run. :D

PB toast and coffee for the warm up recovery.

Would you like toast with that PB????

Still experimenting with the new camera. I very much would like to take an intro. photography course to figure out how to actually use this new camera of mine. I am sure it can do so much more than I will ever know how to do with it. Have you ever taken a photography course???

Lola is LOVIN' all the treas she is getting from posing!

At least my plants let me photograph them for free...lol.

Well that's it for today. :) Thanks again for stopping by the GGR blog!

How did you spend your New Year's Evening? How are your workouts going so far this year?Favourite recovery food????
Happy Running,Heather :)

Fresh trail tracks - love it! NYE was spent volunteering at the Wolfville Resolution Run and just relaxing withe family. My workouts have been different so far - running with my daughter :) and skiing twice! This year, I want to take a photography and pottery course! Happy 2015!

Apparently it is going to be a high of -20C on both Wednesday and Thursday in Ottawa - I'm not impressed! Wednesday is my bday and Thursday I am supposed to be walking around downtown with my class. and -20 is the high, so it will probably be much colder :'-( I hate winter....

I've never taken a photography class, and like you I probably don't know half of what my camera can do!

No workouts for me so far - a combo of travelling, being at home with Max and pure laziness means I am waiting til I go back to work and (funny enough) have some more free time.

Never took a photography course. I am bad at pictures! I just snap and hope for the best. I can't believe how cold it is up there! We had a couple cold days this week, but nothing like that! Now today, it is supposed to b 57. How weird!!!

I haven't done photography ever. I think you are doing pretty well with the pictures, of course you have the cutest little model ever:) Great job on the speed work- you held a great pace. How the heck did you do that in the snow?! I had some delicious cheesecake on new year day too, seriously, why can't broccoli taste like that :) Peanut-butter is one of my favorite recovery foods for sure.

Boston you beast, you've broken my heart yet again and I keep coming back for more. I did it, my 5th Boston Marathon and with each p...

For obvious reasons....and for those who don't know me well.......I'd like to state that I am not a licensed nutritionist, coach, elite athlete, physiotherapist, sports doctor, etc. I am just sharing my knowledge and passion for running by showing what has worked, and is currently working for me. :)Heather
